Rapunzel at JCCPosted by Kathy Lauer-Williams at 08:00:00 AM on February 27, 2012

Stagemakers at the J present a tongue-in-cheek retelling of the fairytale “Rapunzel.” The theater group made up entirely of children will perform in the one-act musical featuring songs by the creators of the hit television show “Friends” today, Saturday and Sunday.

The story follows a possessive mother who happens to be a witch, a tentative young man who happens to be a prince and a strong-willed but naïve young girl with the longest hair you’ll ever see.

The show is cast entirely with children and featured 25 youthful performers ranging in age from 6 to 17. Rapunzel is played by Jessica Baar, the witch by Aydele Brenner. Prince Brian is Daniel Zahn and Simon is played by Sydney Lilly.
